SVN Export Command not Working

Question

I am Using Cygwin, I want to Do SVN export I am using Following Command.

svn export http://SVNpath D:\Test -r 10 --username svntest --password svntest --force --non-interactive

It works Fine. But If there is Space in D:\Test Folder

svn: E205000: Try 'svn help' for more info
svn: E205000: Error parsing arguments

Does I Need to replace Space with %20.

Please Guide me.

try using quotes around the path but I'm not surprised that paths with spaces produce problems ... you should avoid them in general, e.g. use dashes/underscores instead — scibuff

If a path contains spaces you must surround them in Quotes:

svn export http://SVNpath "D:\Test Folder" -r 10 --username svntest --password svntest --force --non-interactive

If you don't then it thinks D:\Test is one argument and Folder is another.
